I can add: when you have worked frantically overtime to finish a request by a deadline, the person who asked you to do it in the first place, says - oh, thanks a bunch but I decided not to give that as a gift now. And I don't have any use for it. But thanks anyway......

As the adopter of 3 rescue dogs, I would just like to say a huge "THANK YOU" to all the quilters out there who donate their fabric crafts to animal shelters. It warms my heart to think this craft I've decided to learn has so many wonderful gifters of comfort and love in it.
